Re: Why? [was Re: Cantor`s powerset theorem is false?]



Newberry says...

The radioactive experiement will either terminate or not. If it does
not terminate then it will NOT reach the end. Cantor claims that it
will.

What in the world are you talking about?

I am talking about strings of symbols that carry infinite amount of
information. They do not and cannot exist.
I think it summarizes the whole controversy. Either you believe
in them or you don't. Cantor's diagonal argument implies that they
exist.

No, Cantor's argument proves the *nonexistence* of a function
with a certain property.
